The Public Administrator bureau is charged with investigating and administering the estates of County residents who pass away without someone available or willing to settle their affairs. The powers of the Public Administrator are mandated by the Probate Code of the State of California. (In Riverside County, the Public Administrator is an agency or bureau under the Sheriff Department)

The Public Administrator should be notified by anyone (mortuary, hospital, skilled nursing facility, or private citizen) who has knowledge of an estate of a decedent under the following circumstances:

a. Where there are no known next of kin.
b. When no executor or administrator has been appointed and the estate is being wasted, uncared for or lost.
c. When an heir, or heirs, wish to have the Public Administrator settle the estate for them.
d. The Public Administrator has the same duties and functions as a private administrator which include:

*Protecting the decedent’s property from waste, loss or theft.
*Searching for family.
*Making appropriate funeral and burial arrangements.
*Conducting thorough investigations to discover all of the decedent’s assets.
*Ensuring all estate benefits are applied for and received.
*Paying the decedent’s bills and taxes.
*Ensuring the estate is administered according to the decedent’s wishes.
*Locating persons entitled to inherit from the estate.

Q: What is Conservatorship and When is it necessary?

A: Establishing a conservatorship is a formal legal proceeding and involves several steps. Some adults who are concerned about possible future mental and physical incapacity decide to establish a power of attorney or a trust, in part so they can avoid the court action. They choose an individual or an institution to make decisions for them if they become impaired. These are private arrangements and must be made while the person has full mental capacity. In California, courts do not routinely monitor powers of attorney or trusts. Most people do not make these arrangements probably because it is difficult to think about becoming incapacitated mentally or physically. But it happens, especially to people over 75 years of age. For those who have not made prior arrangements, or if the person handling the power of attorney or trust is incapable or dishonest, a conservatorship may become necessary

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation (parenting time) are terms which are used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the child to make decisions, and the parent's duty to care for the child.

Custody: There is a distinction between ‘legal’ and ‘physical’ custody. Legal custody refers to which parent has the right and responsibility to make decisions regarding the children’s health, education and welfare. Physical custody refers to which parent your children will live with and when.

Visitation: Visitation (also called “parenting time”) is the plan for how the parents will share time with the children. A parent who has the children less than half of the time has visitation with the children. Visitation orders are varied, depending on the best interests of the children, the situation of the parents, and other factors.

Family Law/Dissolution of Marriage
A Dissolution of Marriage or Registered Domestic Partnership (Divorce) is a legal action that ends marriage or a registered domestic partnership.

Residency Requirement - To obtain a divorce in California you or your spouse or partner must have lived in California for the last six months and have lived for the last three months in the county where you file for divorce.

No "Fault" Required - No one has to prove that either spouse or partner is "guilty" or "innocent".

It is not necessary that both persons agree to end the relationship. One spouse or partner cannot make the other stay in a relationship.

It takes a minimum of six months from the date of the divorce papers are served (given) to the other party before a divorce can be final. However, you are not automatically divorced at the end of six months. At least one spouse or partner must complete the required legal process and obtain a written judgment.

Decedent's Estates, Wills & Trusts
Procedures that can be used to manage the assets and debts of a decedent, and / or to obtain authority to distribute the assets to those entitled to receive them.

The most formal process is referred to as a “decedent’s estate administration.” This procedure requires an individual to petition the court to be appointed as personal representative of the estate. If the court finds that the decedent left a valid will, the court will issue “letters testamentary” or “letters of administration with will annexed” to the personal representative. If no will is admitted to probate, the court will issue “letters of administration
